Today I wanted to wish a Man who, at sixteen, left Ahmedabad with almost nothing in his pocket.
He took the Gujarat Mail to Mumbai, joined Mahendra Brothers to learn diamond sorting, and later started his own small brokerage in Zaveri Bazaar. That was his beginning. #HappyBirthdayGautamBhai @gautam_adani.
From those humble steps, he went on to build one of India’s largest infrastructure empires. Not through shortcuts, but through consistent execution, bold bets on long-term projects, and a clear focus on nation-building.

@scribe9104 I'm sure she gets more "gratification" than just money, to spew venom against the country she lives & feeds in & instead favors a globally recognised terrorist state. Planted by the US deep state, she ought to be imprisoned for being a traitor!
@MeghUpdates A state sponsor of Terrorism brokering peace..... 😂....Truth behind the curtain....a bankrupt lap dog of the US trying to assure monetary gains from IMF & others
@choga_don I just don't understand WHY anybody gives any attention/credence/importance to this TATTEEE's utterances?? He doesn't have the guts to come to India, but keeps tweeting from far off Germany!!!
@NewsAlgebraIND Bollywood has always been Anti-Hindu, portraying Hindu's as villains, corrupt & anti-social..Kudos to Yogi ji for his continued upliftment of Sanatan Dharma!!
@Mahaveer_VJ Such traitors should not be allowed to serve in any of Indian Administrative Services, it's a serious National security concern!! GOI should ensure she's kept out of IAS
@PoornimaNimo 24 yrs has not taught this power hungry "fake hindu" that this Quom doesn't care for anyone except their faith. He deserves what comes to him & even worse...jo Sanatan ko gaali dega, uska haal YHI hoga !!
@Indian_Analyzer Jituddin's votebank politics has crushed him, he deserves it! In fact, deserves so much more condemnation, that his political identity is demolished completely!
@theskindoctor13 Whatever political gains accrue frm spporting & prmoting local population in Kashmir, it should not b at the cost of our jawans, who lay their lives 2 protect us commonrs. Local spporters of terrrists shud b weeded out & eliminated in priority!
